The vibe is great. Lots of indoor seating, with outdoor seating as well. We came here for entrees and a couple drinks. The drinks were good. We had the Max Cioppino and the Grilled Swordfish. The cioppino was lacking flavor and tasted like a frozen seafood mix. The grilled swordfish was better, but still felt lackluster. The server seemed to be running around but it didn’t seem that busy. I might return to try oysters and appetizers but I wouldn’t recommend coming for entrees. Way too spendy for what you get.

Came here for the oysters and happy hour and was satisfied for sure! Their oysters come with saltine crackers, which I’ve not had in Colorado. I liked that added touch. I also really loved their clam chowder soup too. So delicious and flavorful! We had their cheesecake too and wow was that tasty. Cozy atmosphere, great happy hour deals, delicious food, and wonderful service! Husband had their fish and chips and their slaw was kinda odd tasting… Maybe needed some more salt? Still delicious.

I went with a friend and made a reservation. I was seated immediately and our server was attentive but not hovering. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and a couple of drinks to start. We got them during happy hour so they had a little discount. The ceviche was wonderful. We both got the scallops for the entree. We would have liked more scallops(there were only three). They were a good size though, and perfectly cooked. The orzo/kale mixture was good with the scallops as well. We sat and chatted for a bit after finishing our meal and were not rushed out. The atmosphere was friendly and social. It wasn’t too hot, or cold. Their seafood is always amazing and never fishy tasting unlike other places I have been to in Colorado. I normally get the mussels and lobster rolls which are absolutely fantastic as well, but we wanted to try somthing new this time. We will be back again!!!

I wanted something different for lunch and having just watched a show on Bruges thought of mussels. This place certainly fit the bill. The menu includes a lot of good seafood options including lobster and mussels. The mussels were perfect for me. The portion size was good and they were delicious. I’m definitely looking forward to going back to try other items.
Service was fast and friendly. The food came out of the kitchen quick too. The space is unmistakably focused on seafood and very comfortable. It’s large enough to handle a sizeable number of customers. They do have password protected Wi-Fi available for guests.
Parking can be very difficult to find during peak mealtimes, but can be much more relaxed if you can schedule your visit for between meals.

Had the most delightful happy hour at Max’s Gill and Grill, the cocktails, oysters, and ceviche were so yummy. Prices are reasonable, super friendly staff, and can’t beat the neighborhood vibe of South Gaylord Street. New favorite happy spot!

We went to Max Gill & Grill last night, and we have a fantastic time. The interior setup and overall atmosphere transported us out of Colorado to some undefined coastal town. It was cozy. Our server was friendly and fast, checking in frequently. The drinks were great, and the food was delicious. We tried the crab dip and the char-grilled oysters for our starter and the lobster Mac & Cheese and a lobster roll for our main dish. All of those items were fantastic, although the crab dip could have used some more bread. We’ve already decided that we’ll be back soon.

A hidden gem with excellent seafood. Half don’t want to review because I want to keep this place but also want to commend this spot for their food experience in the seafood atmosphere in Denver. I got the lobster roll and east coast oysters.

Great atmosphere and vibe and decor, super yummy food, and cheap boozy drinks. Can’t go wrong here. The seafood is exceptional (my scallops were BOMB and even my mom who doesn’t like clam chowder LOVED the clam chowder). This is a great restaurant and I uifhky recommend it to anyone. All our food was well portioned and delicious – a French dip, scallop risotto, roasted chicken, and clam chowder.

We visit Colorado often and decided to try the lobster roll here instead of the place we went to on our last visit.
We were seated quickly and water was brought to the table right away. My husband and I both had the lobster roll, heated with butter and chose the asiago crab dip as an appetizer and they did not disappoint! The rolls are huge compared to some I’ve had and so far the best out of any that I’ve had anywhere else. Dani, our server, was very personable and checked on us often, with a smile on her face and keeping our beverages full. We definitely found a new place to eat next time we visit the area. Highly recommend!
